I really did have all intentions of coming to the chat. I thought this one would be a good one to help me feel more comfortable in a chat room. At first my family wasn`t coming over because it started to snow and my oldest dd lives 20 minutes away on a back road that can be bad to drive on. But of course as you know Jan we didn`t get but a heavy dusting and they decided to come. Don`t get me wrong I love our Sunday nights together but I was all settled down with a cup of hot coffee and my warm jams on waiting for the 2 feet of snow to fall LOL when RINGGGGgggg. "Hey mom, we are at Lis` (which is next door to me) come on over". I said, "But it`s snowing" they said, "no, it stopped" Sure did spoil my mood. LOL

But I praise the Lord that they cannot have a perfect time together unless mom and dad are there

To have a friend is to have a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold and an extra pair of legs when yours are too weak to stand alone...

I have been living buried in books and writing classes... as an added note I must say that it is rather scary when you start dreaming and all you can see within your dreams is words floating everywhere!
